What is a healthy substitute for margarine when making chocolate chip cookies?

Try this experiment…. Leave a tub of margarine open in your garage, then forget about it. The next time you see a recipe that requires margarine, go to the garage and look at the margarine you left there. It will all be there. Flies wont touch it, and even cockroaches turn their noses up at it. Fact is, margarine is just one molecule away from being a plastic, literally.

Bottom line… even lard is healthier than margarine, even though you shouldn’t use it.

Butter, Smart Balance, applesauce, anything but margarine.
